Oatey Company 001117-12 Thick Wax Toilet Gasket 12 Pack

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 001117-12 is an extra-thick wax toilet gasket designed to create a watertight seal between a toilet horn and the closet flange. Containing 40 percent more wax than standard wax rings, this gasket provides added material to compensate for minor flange height irregularities and uneven subfloor conditions. Sold in a case of 12 units, it suits plumbing contractors and service plumbers who install or reset toilets in volume. This gasket is installed during toilet rough-in or replacement as part of a standard residential or light commercial plumbing drain connection.

This wax gasket is appropriate for residential and light commercial toilet installations where the closet flange sits at or slightly below the finished floor surface. The extra thickness makes it a practical choice when a standard wax ring does not provide adequate sealing depth. It fits typical 3-inch or 4-inch closet flanges and standard toilet horn openings used in most domestic plumbing configurations.

Key Features

• Contains 40 percent more wax than ordinary wax gaskets for improved sealing on low or recessed flanges
• Extra-thick profile accommodates minor flange height variations without adding a wax ring extender
• Single-use, no-tool installation that compresses and seals as the toilet is set and bolted down
• Sold as a case of 12 units, suited for contractor stocking or multi-unit service calls
• Compatible with standard closet bolt mounting hardware used in most toilet installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement wax gasket for standard residential and light commercial toilet-to-flange connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply and fully evacuate the toilet tank and bowl before removing the existing fixture. Clean all old wax residue from the flange and toilet horn before setting the new gasket. Once the toilet is positioned and set onto the closet bolts, do not lift or reposition it, as this will break the wax seal and require a new gasket.
